HONORABLE ROBERT J. WHITE, JUDGE
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Curtis Ivy, Jr.'s September 5, 2024 report and recommendation. (ECF No. 45). The report recommends that the Court direct the Clerk of the Court to enter default against defendant Miguel Priest pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a). (Id., PageID.142). None of the parties objected to the report and recommendation. Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(2).
The Court had an opportunity to fully review the matter and believes the magistrate judge reached the correct conclusions for the proper reasons. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Curtis Ivy, Jr.'s September 5, 2024 report and recommendation (ECF No. 45) is hereby accepted and adopted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court enter default against defendant Miguel Priest pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff Michael Parker has 21 days from the date of entry of this order to move for a default judgment pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(b)(2).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that in the event Parker does not move for a default judgment within the timeframe specified above, the Court will order him to show cause as to why Priest should not be dismissed from this case for failure to prosecute. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b), E.D. Mich. LR 41.2.
